Changing Note Type to Autoflip with one by one

[nga4707]

Hello robot, if you are out there, I was wondering if you could explain to me how I can change the sub-deck note types to automatically switch to the back if they are “one-by-one” cards. In particular this is for the “OMM for COMLEX” deck. I would like it to automatically go to the back when one-by-one is enabled like the regular AnKingOverhaul cards do.

Thank you, keep up the strong work

Reading: Changing Note Type to Autoflip with one by one

You’re absolutely “heard”, robot has arrived.

You’re looking for the same auto‑flip behavior you see on regular AnKingOverhaul cards when One‑by‑one is enabled, but on the OMM for COMLEX cards. That behavior isn’t controlled by the note type itself—it’s handled by:

1. The deck options (Auto Advance) and
2. The card template logic that hides/shows fields when “one‑by‑one” is used.

Because the exact setup can vary between shared decks, I’ll outline the practical paths you can take and how to keep it AnkiHub‑friendly.

---

1. Check if you’re on a recent Anki version

Auto‑advance (auto flip) is built into recent Anki versions:

• In Anki, go to Help → About.
• Make sure you’re on Anki 23.12 or later.
  If not, update Anki first, otherwise built‑in auto‑flip won’t work reliably.

---

2. Enable Auto‑Advance for the OMM deck

Auto‑flip is per deck option group, not per note type.

1. In Anki, go to the OMM for COMLEX deck.
2. Click the gear icon → Options.
3. In the Reviews tab, scroll to Auto Advance:
   • Set Seconds to show question = your desired front‑side time (e.g. 0–1s).
   • Set Seconds to show answer = time you want to see the back (e.g. 0–2s).
4. When reviewing, on a card from that deck:
   • Click More → Auto Advance to turn it on.

If your regular AnKingOverhaul cards are using this same options group, you can simply assign the OMM subdeck to the same option group:

• Deck list → click gear next to OMM subdeck → Options
• At the top, in Options group, choose the same group your main AnKing deck uses (often named something like “AnKing” / “Default v2 AnKing”).

That alone should make OMM cards “auto‑flip” the same way.

3. Make sure One‑by‑one is actually doing its thing

“One‑by‑one” is usually a special field / setting used in AnKing note types and card templates to show multiple clozes or items one step at a time.

To confirm it’s enabled:

1. Open a problem OMM card in the Browser.
2. Look at the note’s fields – see if there’s something like One by One, Extra 1, etc. filled in.
3. Click Cards… and compare the front/back templates of this OMM note type with those of a working AnKingOverhaul note type:
   • Look for template logic around one by one, often using conditionals such as
     {{#One by One}} ... {{/One by One}} or similar.
   • The working AnKing note type usually has specific HTML/JS and/or {{type:...}} or special fields that control how the card behaves.

If the OMM note type doesn’t have the same one‑by‑one display logic, it may not mimic the exact AnKingOverhaul behavior no matter what you do with options.

Because template editing can be fragile—and AnkiHub decks get synced—I don’t recommend manually rewriting templates unless you’re very comfortable with it and ready to lose those changes on future AnkiHub updates.

4. Best “safe” options with AnkiHub

To avoid breaking anything that AnkiHub updates:

Option A – Use the same options group (recommended)
Make sure the OMM subdeck uses the same options group and that Auto Advance is configured there. This should give you auto‑flip behavior without touching note types/templates.

Option B – Duplicate a note type locally (advanced / not synced)
If you really want identical behavior to AnKingOverhaul:

1. Create a local clone of the OMM note type (Tools → Manage Note Types → select OMM type → Clone).
2. Copy the relevant card templates from a working AnKingOverhaul note type into this cloned type (front and back).
3. Change the affected OMM notes to use the cloned type.
   • In the Browser, select notes → Notes → Change Note Type.

This keeps the original AnkiHub‑managed type intact but means your cloned version won’t receive future AnkiHub note‑type template changes. Only do this if you understand that trade‑off.

5. If it still doesn’t behave like AnKingOverhaul…

Reply here with:

• A screenshot of the OMM card type templates (Cards… window, front and back).
• A screenshot of your deck options (Reviews tab → Auto Advance section) for the OMM deck.
• Confirm whether your main AnKing deck and OMM subdeck share the same options group.

With that, I can give very concrete, step‑by‑step instructions tailored exactly to your setup.

Sorry Anki_Bot, I totally goofed.

The code
“// ############## USER CONFIGURATION START ##############

// Auto flip to back when One by one mode.

var autoflip = true”

Was right there in front of me the whole time. Thank you anyway.
